R Project Updates

Updates from R Core:

  • removeSource() now works not only for functions but also for some language objects.

  • optim(*, lower = c(-Inf, -Inf)) no longer warns (and switches the method), thanks to a suggestion by John Nash.

  • axis() gets new option gap.axis = NA for specifying a multiplication factor for the minimal “gap” (distance) between axis labels drawn. Its default is 1 for labels parallel to the axis, and 0.5 for perpendicular ones.

  • Calls with an S3 class are no longer evaluated when printed, fixing part of PR#17398, thanks to a patch from Lionel Henry.
